Dr. Sloan Manning and his team at PrimeCare is not only busy with patients, but tracking the flu.

"We will report how individuals had what we called influenza like illness which is defined as a fever of 100 or better plus a sore throat and a cough and we break it up into age categories and send it to the state health department," explained Dr. Manning.

Their reports are sent to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and are used to create the weekly FluView report.

"You want to be able to plan for prevention. People need to know, the public at large would like to know, clinicians, like ourselves would like to know what's in the community so that we know what to look for, what to test for," said Dr. Manning.
